On the 5th February 1989 Concorde
recorded a remarkable and memorable flight for 100 very
privileged passengers. The supersonic aircraft staged a
whirlwind tour flight from the Canadian city of Ottawa to
the North Pole and back.
This truly historical flight is celebrated in a superb
commemorative envelope from the Cambridge Stamp Centre.
The cover illustrates the cold wasteland of the Arctic
Circle and a photograph of Concorde as she performed a
fly-past over the Peace Tower on route to Ottawa’s
International Airport. The cover is personally
autographed by the Concorde pilot in command of the
flight Captain Harry J. Linfield.
